Bowl TV Ratings

[DEHIII]

I guess these means BP lost his bet to whichever Aub it was that he bet the Bama bowl game would have higher ratings then the Aub game.

Alabama was hurt because it was the Indy bowl that was on Sunday night, the most watched TV night. Most people either watch sitcoms or NFL football. I know I was one who watched both my Tide and my Titans at a bar.

Anyway, thought you guys might find this interesting:

I couldn't find the nice little chart that is in my Bham news, but here is a listing from the NCAA website that gives some numbers:

It's really a shame more people didn't watch some of the smaller bowl games. I think that the best bowl game I watched this year had to be the first bowl of the season, Utah vs. Navy.

Only 2 of the 5 BCS Bowls had higher ratings than the Florida - Michigan game.
